#How to edit junk mail rules on mac email client full#
I’ve received spam that is indeed addressed to my full name. I have less confidence in the last option. If you find questionable addresses, select them and click the Remove From List button. The second option is also worth checking, but before you do choose Window -> Previous Recipients and make sure the addresses you find there are all from “good” recipients. Unless you routinely correspond with spammers, check the first option. Under the The Following Types of Messages Are Exempt From Junk Mail Filtering heading you see Sender of Message is in my Address Book, Sender of Message is in my Previous Recipients, and Message is Addressed Using My Full Name. Mail provides you with some broad options in the Junk Mail window for more easily sorting wheat from chaff. As its name suggests, this option tells Mail to automatically move mail it’s identified as junk to a Junk folder, which appears under the On My Mac heading in Mail’s Mailboxes pane. When it hits far more often than it misses, you can return to the Junk Mail window within Mail’s preferences and enable the Move it to the Junk Mailbox option. Over time, with your tutelage, Mail will go beyond its native powers to identify junk and better pinpoint messages that you believe are junk. When you find one, highlight it and click the Junk button in Mail’s toolbar. Likewise, keep an eye out for messages that are junk but haven’t been marked as such. If it isn’t, highlight the good messages and click the Not Junk button in Mail’s toolbar. The filter works better when you teach it and having junk appear in your Inbox will remind you to train Mail.Ĭarefully scan your Inbox and verify that what Mail is calling junk, really is. I suggest leaving them in your Inbox for the time being so you can A) see if the junk mail filter is working at all and B) easily identify mail marked as junk.
When this option is on, any messages that Mail believes are junk will be marked in brown. As you’re just starting out, enable the Mark as Junk Mail, But Leave it in My Inbox option. To begin anew, in this same Junk Mail window check the Enable Junk Mail Filtering option. (Don’t do this if it’s misidentifying the occasional good or bad message.) To reset theses settings, open Mail’s Preferences, click the Junk Mail item in the toolbar, and click the Reset button. If you believe that you’ve been teaching Mail what is and isn’t junk and it’s not responding as it should, start by resetting the junk mail settings so you have a fresh start. Can you outline the way to use Mail’s Junk Mail settings? It occurred to me that maybe I don’t really know what I am doing. I continue to receive Viagra pitches and claims from foreign dignitaries that I’ve won millions of dollars. I can’t get a handle on why my Mail junk filter doesn’t work so well. A reader who wishes to remain nameless is seeing more junk mail than she cares to.
